CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP
My son-in-law’s Mom brought over a HUGE bag of fresh asparagus and with his wife (my daughter) out of town he knew they would not eat it in a timely fashion..or at any time, to be honest. Let’s just say they enjoyed a few lunches and dinners out while Mom was out of town. So,…
OATMEAL CAKE
OH, my goodness…YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THIS!!!!!! I had breakfast at Bob Evan’s the other day and my typical bowl of oatmeal turned into this big skillet of oatmeal that held about 3 pounds of cooked oatmeal. Of course, I brought it home and remembered a cake that we used to make 50 years…
VEGAN BIRCHER MUESLI
I just returned from a a trip to Switzerland that included a cruise from Basel to Amsterdam. IT WAS GLORIOUS!! I discovered a couple of things that I want to share because one thought is especially worth pondering. I didn’t see any heavy people on the streets of Zurich and Lucerne. I saw them eating…
GLUTEN FREE NAAN
OF COURSE, YOU CAN PURCHASE NAAN FROM ANY GROCERY …BUT… NOT GLUTEN FREE…. This is fun to make and yummy to eat and another treat for the G.F. crowd. The only thing you may not have is a cast iron pan and this is best for the frying of Naan. FRYING???? Not deep fried, but…

LIME AID/MARGARITA WITH FRESH LIME JUICE
This tasty little beverage is brought to you by my brother, Kevin. While most of us like the margarita side of this, the sister of my heart, Jan, prefers her lime aid straight up . The only thing that could make this even better is if you have a lime tree outside your back door….
LEMON NAPOLEAN
This is an easy, delightful, company worthy dessert that brings everyone back for seconds. I love the tangy taste of lemon and when we lived in Arizona, with a lemon tree just outside my back door, I scoured for recipes using lemon. In my opinion, there is nothing better than fresh lemon to enhance anything…
BRUSCHETTA
Nothing starts your Pasta bar off on a more perfect note better than Bruschetta. Of course, the BEST time of year to make this is when you pick your fresh Roma tomatoes off the vine and bring them in. BUT… store bought Romas will do the trick. There is a dairy free Parmesan cheese available…
BLACK BEAN BROWNIES
Yep.. that’s what I said…Black Bean Brownies…. I wish I could have you taste these before you had to have an opinion cause I know the black bean part is throwing you off and it shouldn’t…they are yummy!!!! This is an easy dessert to throw together and there are no eggs, no flour, no dairy…
